So many spammers trying to join AGO every day...
Each morning and on the fly throughout each day I go through and approve or remove pending new accounts.
What you don't see behind the scenes is how many spammers try to join this forum every day. For the life of me I have know idea why? For the most part, the people on this forum are way to smart to actually take the bait and try to purchase anything posted by a spammer. And most of us are too smart to click on any links they share.
We have a vBulletin plug-in that helps to reduce spammers from actually registering but somehow they get through it and then each day I have the joy of running their e-mail address and IP address through Google and then when it comes back negative I have the pleasure of turning their info over to the StopForumSpam.com database.
I guess some people never figure out the right way to get through life is with an actual job?
:dunno:
